PD Ostrich Show Farm - Thumbs Up !




What to do? Where to go with the holidays coming? The children are restless and I am no fun nor exiting dad. Cuti sekolah, mana nak pergi? Mana nak pergi? Cuti sekolah.

So this time around we decided to go to PD - Port Dickson. Sapa Dickson ni aku tak berapa nak tau. Again, if you are a family with love for animals (and the smell of animals), PD has an Ostrich Farm to offer besides the beach. Clean, orang dia baik-baik, spacious and children friendly. The toilets were under construction so I didn't get to go. There's a small souvernir shop that nobody goes in. And there's a huge dining area where you can rest and tour groups gather. Very comfy.


Basic Where?
Teluk Kemang. Teluk Kemang is in PD, Negeri Sembilan, which is around 2 hours drive from KL. Drive along the beach of Teluk Kemang, on your right is a sign. This paragraph is not very helpful - because it's kind of easy to find it.


Its there in google map


Basic What Is It?

It is an animal farm. There are rabbits, burung puyuh, chickens, snakes, reptiles, donkeys and a few more suitable animals plus ostriches. There are more rabbits than ostrich. Plus dinosaurs. We didn't see any though. A guided tour will take an hour plus to finish. Come early and you can spend more time with the rabbits.

OK. Reasonable price.

Pay and get this. They also sell packs of food to feed the animals too.

Baru perasan dia tulis untuk di jual. Best jugak ada ostrich kat rumah.

Kan dah cakap, ada dinasour.

Kandang puyuh & rabbits. Quails can be very smelly.
But not here. Well kept and well cleaned.


Donkey fur detail

"Nobody wants a donkey nowdays," says the farm guide man.
The meat is not eaten, work also cannot - got tractor.

Bunyi Keldai amat buruk.

Hmmm...
Iye la. Kurang penguasaan Bahasa sendiri.

A family day group

It was a nice trip. It was hot and sunny. With the tour guy around, plenty of information. We by chance arrived with another group of family and were taken on a tour. I am not sure if the tour guide guy does this on regular basis.

A good trip. You can bring along your baby's stroller. And carry plenty of water.

OK

Palestine In Art

It is a graphic novel by Joe Sacco published some 12-13 years ago (?), still relevant, great art, great story. If you want to know a little bit more on the Palestinians, if you like great storytelling, if you like cartoon, this is a good buy.

The cover looks like. 
ISBN 1-56097-432-X

A little write up.

A story of an american journalist / cartoonist traveling to Palestine.

The artwork: its detail, observation, care and tenderness.
This is the kind of style that you can read over and again
and still could discover something new in the artwork.

Detail and strong expression. Look at the ladies in mid frame.
I am fan of Ujang, who was also very particular to details.

Real story 'unpoliticised'
Its not easy reading a graphic novel. You'll read it fast to see what happens next, then you slow down because you are not doing justice to the art. But then the story has got to go on, and then you would be peeking the next page, amazed by the drawings. Its not easy. 

Joe Sacco / Palestine terbaik..!

Sacco gambar bila ntah. Ambik dari theguradian.

Lorong Belakang Shah Alam I

So I went to visit #Lorongbelakang. Back Alley. A back lane fill with graffiti art organised by the local city council. Organised graffiti. Situated in seksyen 7 shah alam, just ask around where's Jakel ?
I'm not sure is this part of an art work.

I love detail.


Incorporating the sorrounding. Steady Ramli Sarip..!













Nice walkabout. Nice art work. But it smells.
